Where is a good place to live in fort worth?


Travel Info
I'm currently living in san diego, and i am looking to move to fort worth and i would like to know where the "better" parts of fort worth are. any help is greatly appreciated.

Travel Tips
I've lived in the area forever and let me correct a few things and add a few more:

1. Very few people who work in Fort Worth commute from Dallas. Many more do the opposite. Why? It's less expensive to live in and near Fort Worth and the quality of life is better: better schools , a clean and vibrant downtown, nice and accessible suburbs, more community spirit.

2. Grand Prairie is not closest of the outlying cities to Fort Worth. Arlington is. Grand Prarie is actually closer to Dallas. Between Arlington and Grand Prairie, more people chose to live in Arlington. Grand Prairie was once larger than Arlington. It's now about 1/3 the size of Arlington in population (350,000 vs. 127,000)

3. Within Fort Worth, the Southwest area is considered the most desirable are to live in (around the Mira Vista Country Club and Ridglea Country Club) . Within Arlington, the Southwest area is also considered the most desirable . It's also close to Fort Worth ( zip codes 76016 and 76017).

4. When we moved to the area some years ago so I can accept a job offer in Fort Worth; we looked at houses in both SW Arlington and SW Fort Worth and after careful consideration, chose SW Arlington. Better school system, more trees, lower crime rate, higher income and education base, more house for the money and still right next to Fort Worth.

5. Conclusion: Between the Dallas area and the Fort Worth area, choose Fort Worth. Between living in Fort Worth and living in Arlington, choose Arlington (you'll still be able to work in FW. It's an easy drive. Less than 20 minutes for me!) Source(s): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/arlington%2...

Other Travel Tips
I love San Diego. I'm not big on the Fort Worth scene. Most people I knew commuted from the Dallas area to Fort Worth. I recommend areas such Frisco, Plano, and Denton, which are just outside of Dallas. Arlington, Addison, and Grand Prarie are in between Fort Worth and Dallas. All three are nearer to Fort Worth than the others mentioned. Out of all of those, Grand Prarie is the closest, about 5 or so minutes away from Fort Worth. Email me if you have any questions.
Lived there.
Not in Fort Worth. LOL!
I really enjoyed North Arlington if you could settle for a little commute.
The best place to live in Fort Worth is anywhere outside of Fort Worth. I have a cousin in Bedford.
Burleson & Crowley are suburbs of Ft. Worth. They are nice places to live. The school districts are very good.
